PTVNews 188 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I saw a tweet by KGW news director Rick Jacobs and was wondering if KGW had plans to move which I would find very surprising. https://twitter.com/RickJacobsKGW/status/573600377989414912 "New relocation" is weird phrasing but I'm guessing he is referring to KING. Maybe some KGW staff will be helping them move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevCor 344 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 In case anyone was looking to see what a talent bump a-la Gannett would look like, here is KHOU's from their morning show. [yt]Znov73Mv4jQ[/yt] There's a video here called "This is Home - News/Vocal" which has a cut that appears twice. I have yet to hear that one on any Gannett station but I'm not sure if that's the same cut that you're referring to that hasn't been used before. If not, can you please send in a video of or a link to it if you have either? That cut (I'm sure it has a name, but I call it Cut B, found at :53 on NMSA) is used frequently on non-clustered stations in markets 25-50, with KREM being the exception -- no clue why they aren't using the KING cluster music (or why they haven't updated their horrendous weather graphics). Some of the other stations that have a primary evening cut use this as their early edition theme (see WTSP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkolsen 1678 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I am surprised that KSDK has yet to stream their newscast yet in light of these two police officers shot in Ferguson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrtraveler01 737 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Up until last year KSDK was king. The most recent sweeps show different. Actually KSDK's dominance died off in the 2000's. They and KMOV have been running neck and neck. It's only been recent that KMOV's ratings lead began to grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevCor 344 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Latest on the Lone Star Group: Launch dates are tentative at this point, and it really just comes down to how we end up building these graphic templates in Chyron. Also, we will not have a rundown on screen like the rest of the Gannett stations. KYTX: March 16 KCEN/KAGS: March 21 (This is a Saturday for some reason, I'm not sure why) KBMT: April 13 KIII: April 15 KIDY/KXVA: April 20 As for websites, I'm not sure about the other stations, but KIDY/KXVA is stuck with World Now until January 2016. So, it's the Friday before the (scheduled) first ex-London launch on KYTX/CBS 19 this Monday 3/16, and so far there are no signs of the impending change on their main social media or promo pages. Maybe Gannett isn't doing the all-out push this go-round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've also seemed to have pulled off a KVUE in that they changed they logo on display, except without changing their main logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevCor 344 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 KYTX did an ok job with their rollout; no major gaffes or hiccups. They kept the stylized "19" but dropped the rest in favor of a direct "CBS 19" branding, which they were already verbally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevCor 344 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I wonder if KCEN/KAGS are gonna change their logos like some guy said towards the bottom of this thread. I doubt it. The change to KYTX was predictable and inevitable. Their box would not have fir int the logo box without being skewed and shrunk. Also, they were already branding as CBS 19, and I'm sure their CBS affiliation contract required them to "prominently cobrand" the network affiliation on their next graphic refresh like ABC forces their stations to do. For that, KIII will (most likely) have some form of ABC 3 in their branding when they switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
